FULL COVERAGE OF TNA AGAINST ALL ODDS

Welcome to PWInsider.com's coverage of TNA's Against All Odds
Pay-per-view. We will be updating this page throughout the evening with
results from the show, so check back often.

The PPV began with footage from earlier today of the Main Event Mafia
arriving at the building, but without Sting. They also showed Team 3D's arrival,
as they drove in together. Then they showed Sting arriving alone. The announcers speculated on the unity of the Main Event Mafia.

TNA X-Division champion Alex Shelley vs. Eric Young.

Alex Shelley came out alone, no Chris Sabin. Shelley charged Young at
the bell, but Young side stepped him, delivered a drop toe hold and hit some
elbow drops. Young hit a second rope elbow, then clotheslined Shelley over
the top rope and to the floor. Shelley regrouped, then as he slid in the
ring, Young slid out, frustrating him. They did it again, then as Shelley went
to get in, Young dropkicked him to the floor. Young hit a pescado, but
then got on the apron and stood there too long, allowing Shelley to sweep his
leg out. Young crashed on the apron. Young and Shelley punched it
out on the apron, then Shelley shoved Young into the ringpost. Young fell
to the floor, and Shelley jumped off and hit a knee to the chest. Shelley
got on the apron, but Young pulled him face first to the apron. Young then
went for a top rope dive to the floor, but Shelley moved and Young crashed into
the rail.

On the floor, Shelley kicked Young in the chest, then rolled Eric back in the
ring. Shelley slapped Young across the head and rammed him into the
turnbuckle. Young leapfrogged Shelley, but when he went for a reverse
bodypress out of the corner, Shelley dropkicked him. Shelley put Young in
a bow and arrow, then stomped his back. Shelley has been playing heel, but
it appears he has more crowd support. Shelley snapmared Young and hit a
kick to the back, then delivered a kneedrop. Dueling chants for both men
now. Shelley chopped Young. Young flipped to the apron on a whip
attempt, but missed a shoulderblock and Shelley kneed him. With Young hung
over the second rope, Shelley hit a top rope kneedrop to the back. They
two fought on the apron, and Shelley went for a catapult on the apron, but Young
blocked it. Young charged Shelley (again, on the apron) and Shelley moved
and Young went gut first into the ringpost.

Shelley tossed Young back in the ring, put him in a corner and hit a pair of
elbows and then a dropkick to a slumping Young for a two count. Shelley
hit a kick to the back, then elbowed his arm. Shelley put Young in a Cobra
Clutch and bent him over his knee. Young fought out of it, kicked away a
backdrop attempt, took an elbow to the chin, but hit a flapjack. Young hit
some punches, then a back elbow. Young hit a reverse atomic drop and a
forearm to the back of the head. Young hit a discus clothesline, flipping
Shelley for a two count. Young went to the top rope, but Shelley met him
there and hit a second rope jawbreaker. Shelley hit a clothesline in the
corner, but had a second one blocked. Young hit an enzugiri, then went for
a Death Valley Driver, but Shelley escaped and hit a kick to the gut.
Shelley went to run the ropes, Young tripped him, then hit a springboard legdrop
to the back of the head for two. Young went for a moonsault, but
missed. Shelley rolled him up for two, then hit a thrust kick to the head
and a spinning faceplant for two.

Shelley went for Sliced Bread #2, but Young blocked it and went for a
Wheelbarrow suplex. Shelley grabbed the ropes to block it, then flipped
over Young into Sliced Bread #2 for a two count. Shelley took Young onto
the ropes, and Young grabbed Shelley, but Shelley turned it into a top rope
bulldog. Shelley then hit a frog splash for a two count. Shelley set
up Young on the ropes again, and Young almost grabbed a Death Valley Driver, but
Shelley blocked it. Young jumped off the ropes and gave Shelley a Hot Shot
into the top turnbuckle instead. Shelley appeared out near the
ropes. Young went after him, but the referee held him back, since he was
in the ropes. Shelley, was playing possum, and cradled Young from behind
as he was talking with the referee and got the three count at the 14-minute
mark.

Winner: Alex Shelley.

Jeremy Borash interviewed Kurt Angle and asked about Sting not arriving with
him. Angle talked about about being a competitor and how neither he nor
Sting wants to lose, saying true champions "push each other".
Angle said he would push Sting tonight. Angle said regardless who wins,
the Main Event Mafia will be strong.

Petey Williams vs. Scott Steiner.

Both men flexed and trash talked at the bell. The size difference is
very noticeable here. They locked up and Steiner shoved Williams to the
mat. They locked up again and Steiner raked his eyes and hit a chop.
Steiner hiptossed Williams and flexed. They locked up again and Steiner
hit a knee to the gut, then slammed Williams. Steiner yanked Williams'
arm, and Williams kicked Steiner's leg and grabbed a wristlock. Steiner
shrugged it off, but Williams dropkicked his knee and hit a stunner.
Williams went to the top rope and hit a dropkick for a one count. Steiner
rolled to the floor to regroup. Williams gave Steiner a baseball slide
dropkick, then hit a jawbreaker in the ring. Williams hit a spinkick, then

elbow, then did some pushups. Steiner chopped Williams, who fought back
with a kick to the chest. Williams went for a Tornado DDT, but Steiner
just threw him off. Steiner hit a belly to belly suplex, but refused to
pin him. Steiner put Williams across the top rope, then drove him into the
mat with a faceplant. Steiner again refused to pin him. Steiner

then a pair of running forearms. Williams hit a swinging DDT, then went to

Williams floated over and hit a kick. Williams went to the apron,
shoulderblocked Steiner, then hit a slingshot Codebreaker. Williams
charged Steiner, who moved out of the way. Williams stopped short of the
turnbuckles, but then pretended that he hit the ringpost to trick Steiner.
Steiner thought Williams was out, but Williams rolled him up for a two
count. Williams hit some punches, and clotheslined Steiner out of the
ring. Williams went for a slingshot rana onto the floor, but Steiner
caught it and just rudely powerbombed Williams on the floor. Steiner
rolled Williams into the ring and put him in the Steiner Recliner.
Williams made the ropes for a break. Steiner went for a vertical suplex, held
him, then twisted him into a tombstone piledriver (a slower version of the
Steiner Screwdriver) for the pin at the eleven minute mark.

Winner: Scott Steiner.

Scott Steiner got on the mic and said that he didn't need the cheers from the
"white trash". Steiner said he is Mafia, Williams is Frontline,
and this is how he would "finish the job". Steiner then gave
Williams a second rope Samoan Drop. Steiner went for the Recliner again,
but Samoa Joe's music hit. Joe appeared on the screen, saying Steiner was
one of the five responsible for the "sins I am about to commit".
Joe said Steiner would be the first to be introduced to his "nation of
violence". Steiner looked a little concerned, then went back to trash
talking fans.

Mike Tenay and Don West said Mick Foley would be joining them for the main
event, and that Foley would present the World Title belt to the winner.

Jeremy Borash was backstage with Mick Foley and Sting. Foley said he
doesn't want to have to give the belt to Kurt Angle, because he can't stand
him. Sting said he couldn't stand there while he insulted the Mafia.
Foley said his issue with Angle was personal. Foley said he has respect
for Sting, and wishes him luck tonight. Sting took Foley's handshake and
said he appreciated it. Foley walked off. Sting was asked about
Angle's desire to win the belt. Sting said he understands that only one of
them can be champion, but regardless, tomorrow morning the Mafia will still be
together and fighting for respect.

Brutus Magnus vs. ???.

Magnus got on the mic and said he was not the American stereotype of a
British person. He said he was hungry for victory, and that he understood
someone had accepted his challenge. Chris Sabin's music hit.

Brutus Magnus vs. Chris Sabin.

Magnus shoved off Sabin as they locked up. Sabin called for a test of
strength, and Sabin instead grabbed an arm wringer. Magnus reversed and
Sabin rolled out, but Magnus yanked him to the mat by the hair. Sabin hit
some chops, then a shoulderblock that didn't do much. Sabin went for
another, with no effect. Sabin then rolled under a clothesline and hit a
kick to the gut, but Magnus grabbed him for a press slam. Sabin floated
out of it and kicked at Magnus' legs. Sabin went for a reverse bodypress
off the middle rope, but Magnus caught it and gave Sabin Snake-Eyes, then hit a

head. Magnus stood on Sabin's throat. Magnus gave Sabin a vertical suplex.

atomic drop, then a pair of clotheslines. Sabin hit a springboard
clothesline for a two count. Sabin went for a sunset flip, but Magnus
rolled through it, lifted Sabin off the mat, and powerbombed him for two.
Sabin lid out of the ring, Magnus followed, and Sabin slid back in and then hit
a pescado on Magnus. Sabin rolled Magnus back in the ring and went to the
top rope. Magnus held the referee in front of him, then did an awkward
spot where the referee "pushed" Magnus into the ropes, causing Sabin
to be crotched on the top rope. Magnus then gave Sabin a spinning Samoan
Drop for the pin at the seven minute mark.
